To Be Real

I did it! I successfully avoided summertime sadness for the first time in 2 years. After a truly miserable Oct, Nov, & Dec 2023, I really focused on seeking joy for 2024. Tarot comforted me in my misery so leaned into my 2024 cards. It's a collective Strength

Leo Szn Bites

Little bites I'm enjoying this Leo Szn... ♌Manes My son and I love going to the movies and recently watched Twisters. It's just as cheesy as you would expect if you saw Twister (1996) with better effects. While the current movie features a fire tornado (!), I

Busan

Korea Through My Lens

Korea Through My Lens

Last week I returned home after a trip of a lifetime to South Korea with my family. My mother immigrated from South Korea to the U.S. a year before my birth. I went there twice as a child at ages 4 and 16. Currently I am 43 and this

Aries Aspirations + Amusement

I know I'm a little late but... Happy Astro New Year and Spring Equinox! The Sun shifted into Aries as the Earth shifted its axis. In the Northern hemisphere, we are now tilting towards the Sun. Warmth stirring the stillness of winter. A rekindling to awaken. I'

I have been having a helluva time trying to write this post or anything in general. I have been feeling frustrated, angry, and sad. I'm tired of participating in systems that do not share my values. I do not want to fund genocide. I'm angry that

Cultivating/Craving Connections

We are entering the dark part of the year. The Wheel has turned and Samhain has passed. I have struggled with ancestor work, a cornerstone of Samhain, a time when the liminal space between worlds diminishes. The veil is thin per my IG feed. As the daughter of a first

Comfy Clothes, Crime Shows, & Critical Thinking

I am 3 episodes into the new Netflix series The Fall of the House of Usher by Mike Flanagan. It is quite the departure from Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House as none of the main characters are likeable. The Ushers are a family of vapid pharmaceutical billionaires
